"Seeking an immediate return to winning ways on Sunday lunchtime, Manchester United will welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford. Starting with the hosts, while some in Manchester United's camp might have been frustrated last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at Sunderland, Michael Carrick's side have embarked on a sensational resurge since the ex-Middlesbrough boss arrived back in January. Already punching a lucrative Champions League return with time to spare, the Red Devils sit in bronze medal position among England's elite and they have rightfully received a string of plaudits."
"Getting May underway with a stellar 3-2 victory at home against historic rivals Liverpool, Man United have registered 10 points from their previous four Premier League appearances. With the mood around Old Trafford at a red-hot high, Carrcik's men will be looking to lay down another marker and make an immediate return to winning ways here. While both Benjamin Sesko and Brazilian superstar Casemiro might have missed out away at Sunderland last weekend, Man United are hopeful that the duo will return to Carrick's squad here."
"However, Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt remains on the sidelines with a back injury and won't play any part on Sunday lunchtime. Forced to settle for a spot on the bench at the Stadium of Light, former Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo could be handed a full recall. Embarking on what has been a record-breaking run this season, talismanic skipper Bruno Fernandes will play a leading role in the final third. Verdict: Bruno Fernandes over 0.5 shots on target Best Odds: 7/10 Bookmaker: Luckster"
"As for the visitors, while Nottingham Forest might have watched their iconic Europa League adventure come to a thumping end earlier in the month as they eventually fell to a 4-1 aggregate defeat against local foes Aston Villa, Vitor Pereira's side have cruised their way to top-flight safety."
